No authentic narration has been established proving that any of the Companions wrote Surat al-Hafd and Surat al-Khal‘ in their copies of the Qur’an or that they considered them Qur’an. The most authentic report is that they were recited during qunūt (the supplication in prayer)🧵


either before or after bowing. 1. The report from Ibn Mas‘ūd:
It is narrated from ‘Ubayd ibn ‘Umayr that it reached him that they were two surahs in Ibn Mas‘ūd’s mushaf and that he used to recite them in witr every night.

[ The Seven Sacraments of the Church ]

1: The Sacrament of Baptism:
Baptism is the key sacrament marking entry into Christianity, also called the second birth, spiritual birth, or sacrament of immersion. THREAD 🧵 Baptism, for Christians, is a second birth that cleanses from original sin through death and burial with Christ granting new life. “Unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter God’s kingdom” (John 3:5). “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved” (Mark 16:16).

In short:
•Many Christian scholars say that this formula was placed on the lips of Christ and is not part of the original Gospel of Matthew (see images).
•Eusebius of Caesarea cited the formula differently several times: “Go and make disciples of all nations in my name”🧵

•Some might argue that Eusebius was an Arian, and that’s why he quoted the text this way. But the problem is that there are people more important than Eusebius who cited the formula in the name of Jesus only. Here are some texts where this occurs:

Homs & Surroundings: Cicero, Cassius Dio, and Diodorus Siculus show Iamblichus, prince of Homs, was Arab, making Homs Arab land. Arabs inhabited Homs, Apamea, and nearby areas. Sextus Africanus shows Golan, Hauran, and Lajat were also part of Arab lands under Herod.

Firearms in the Islamic World during the Middle Ages

During the journey of the Canaanite Cadmus in search of his sister Europa, it is mentioned that Arabs accompanied him. Those Arabs then settled in Greece and lived in ancient times in the land of the island of Euboea, whose capital was Chalcis.

It is clear that these Arabs came from Phoenicia-Canaan (from Latakia to Gaza), as evidenced by the fact that Cadmus was Phoenician, so perhaps their origin was from the Arabs of Phoenicia.

Before the Prophetic Mission, the Arabs had an expanse from Britain in the west to India in the east, where they lived in the form of commercial, settled, or military garrison communities.

Her first claim against the Prophet ﷺ is that he “kept, bought, and sold slaves.” However This is not a strong argument. Historian Robert William Fogel explains that for 3,000 years from the time of Moses to the end of the 17th century virtually every major statesman,

[The Holy Kiss in Christianity]

The Gospel recommends the holy kiss or kiss of love:

Romans 16:16 – “Greet one another with a holy kiss.”
1 Corinthians 16:20 – “Greet one another with a holy kiss.” 1/8 Greet one another with a holy kiss (2 Cor 13:12)

The Gospel commanded it; initially men kissed men and women kissed women. Then came transgressions, reaching (per Will Durant) what religion forbids. Tertullian saw it as sexual licentiousness.

There are many lost books of the Bible, and in the Old Testament alone, 23 books are mentioned by name but are no longer extant. THREAD 🧵 Among these lost books is the “Book of the Wars of the Lord,” mentioned in Numbers 21:14 “Therefore it is said in the book of the Wars of the Lord ‘Waheb in Suphah and the valleys of Arnon.’”

The “Biblical Encyclopedia” says it’s one of many Old Testament books now unknown to us

THREAD 🧵 Did God Fail to Preserve the Previous Scriptures?

The objection:

Allah ﷻ mentions in several places in the Qur’an that the previous scriptures were altered, and that His final Book is the only one that will be preserved from any form of corruption until the Day of
Judgment:

“Indeed, it is We who sent down the Reminder, and indeed, We will be its Guardian.” (Qur’an 15:9)

This raises a “question” in the minds of the People of the Book and atheists whether innocent or not:
Why didn’t God preserve the previous scriptures?

The Doubt (Shubhah):

Hafs recited it as “fidyatun ta‘āmu miskīn” (a ransom of feeding one poor person), while Warsh recited it as “fidyatun ta‘āmu masākīn” (a ransom of feeding poor people).
So, which one is correct? 🧵


The Response:

First:

All the Qur’anic recitations (qirāʾāt) are divinely revealed and do not contradict one another.

Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

“There is no disagreement among Muslims that the seven aḥruf (modes) upon which the Qur’an was revealed do

Christianity’s excommunication history is extreme: Jesus and Paul were excommunicated, all pre-atonement souls damned non-Christians condemned to hell denominations curse each other unbaptized children excluded and dissent punished a faith rooted in exclusion not mercy. THREAD 🧵


Atonement in Christianity: In the Van Dyck translation, unbelievers are linked with wrath and divine judgment. Acts, 1 & 2 Maccabees show unbelievers as enemies of God highlighting a harsh, exclusionary atonement theme.

The Rafidah insult Mother Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and claim that she used to try to seduce men. Their so-called evidence is the following narration:

a slave girl and made her perform tawaf, saying: ‘Perhaps we can attract some of the youth of Quraysh with her.’”

Our response: The chain of narration is weak due to two unknown individuals:

‘Ammar ibn ‘Imran and the unnamed woman he reports from.

THREAD 🧵 Who are the writers of the Gospels? Were they eyewitnesses? And how important is the answer? It was stated in the book Encyclopedia of Church Fathers:

“The issue of identifying the author of the epistle was crucial to the Church, as its canonicity depended on it.

Thus, authorship was vital, since recognizing the book as canonical relied on it.”

According to the Bible, the Earth is flat with four corners. But according to the Qur’an and Sunnah, the Earth is spherical by the consensus of Muslim scholars, including Ibn Hazm, Ibn Taymiyyah, and Ibn al-Qayyim. THREAD 🧵


“He wraps the night over the day and wraps the day over the night” this only makes sense if the Earth is spherical, with night and day rotating around it.
